Beck - Lonesome Tears (Official Music Video)

[@B.e.m.o.]

This whole album is pure gold. A true gift.

[@sambt123]

My mom named me after him, my middle name is beck, she played this album while I was being born. I’ve loved this song since I was around 10, and As I’ve grown older (I’m only 21 currently) this song has only hit me harder with its beauty as time goes on. This song invokes an indescribably deep feeling, just freezes my soul

[@bhargav122]

The last part of this song uses the Shepard's tone to create an illusion of an ever increasing pitch. Christopher Nolan was inspired by this song, and uses this effect in all his movies' score since The Prestige and The Dark Knight.

[@Qaptyl]

Is it the walrus?

[@mksland3884]

I must say Beck is a genius and an artist who escapes categorization. I can't believe I never dug deep into his discography until 2024. It is quite exciting getting to experience so much, new and diverse music from one artist! God bless you Beck David Hansen!

[@gerardoa7717]

This song, reminds me of my baby brother. He was so lost. No matter how hard I held on , he slipped through my fingers. Died of an overdose. I miss him so much.

[@NIKKILOVESLANA]

My God, I'm so, so sorry----i know the helplessness of that feeling. This song absolutely can speak to that experience, music saves lives. Know that your brother loved/loves you, and he knew that you loved him ❤

[@indiazero]

😢😢😢😢😢 that’s so sad. I’m sorry.

[@FriendlyStripedTiger]

My sincere condolences. I am with you. I lost my older brother in much the same way. Beck always belonged to me and him just the same. This song, this album helped us process the loss of 3 sisters many years before. After he went I was left to process the loss of him. Sea Change was the best thing for me that could truly wring out enough healthy amounts of grief to keep going. In my family though I was the youngest. For you, to have a younger sibling taken away, is totally different..... I can't even imagine. I am very sorry🥺 I do know the pain, I feel you. Devastating sorrow that just takes your breath away. But you and I, my kind friend, we are still here. They are watching us and they are guiding us. And thanks to soulful beautiful inspired music like this, Beck is helping us through fully knowing our hearts are hurting so so so much💙

[@SezrahSylvan]

The string arrangement on this song (Beck's dad arranged the strings) is just perfect. So beautiful, moving, escalating.. amazing.

[@yamashitacoversbyjulianroel]

And that shepard tone at the end... it really hits the spot.

[@redjakOfficial]

I didn't know that. The arrangements and all around production for this album are a clear hommage to Serge Gainsbourg. Just listen to the album "l'histoire de Melody Nelson", it's like extremely similar. Beck's dad must be a fan.

[@jenniferherrera5782]

Yes its great just like him

[@jenniferherrera5782]

I wonder were that bridge was at!!!!

[@SpikeSpiegel96]

I'm not surprised when whole album was dedicated to Beck's losing his gf who betrayed him

[@azul4238]

Magnific song.. and one the saddest I know. These moments after an irremediable loss. You can rebirth but you won't be exactly the same person than before. No doubt Beck has known deeply these moments to write this song that fit perfecly this feeling. And one can think that he has found joy again and that makes me happy. As you I am a huge fan of Beck. At the end I think that this song is very special in his career (and whole the album) because it sounds so sincere. No mask. It is so courageous.

I think any reincarnation is part of the one life we are given. imho.

[@mysterycity]

The ending... A Day in the Life, right? He's just so freaking brilliant. The old technology of the cord phone and the typewriter, white-out- even the robot is old tech robot. The world of color didn't have a text or computer- nature, animals, people. The contrast or comparability to A Day in the Life at the end of the tune. Wow.

[@meflove]

Sea Change is a work of art

[@davidbowman4259]

His best album.

[@hela99]

i love the beginning of the song. it's like jumping in air and landing in honey..

[@mr.astring3620]

One of those few albums where absolutely everything comes together. The writing, arranging, emotion, playing, instruments, studio rooms and equipment, engineering... it's truly a magical album. Holy smokes.

[@justinpage1722]

One of the greatest albums of all time

[@michaelemonds]

Absolute genius ,possibly Beck's most under-rated song.

[@finksinatra1575]

I never knew Nigel Godrich Produced this Album. Dude is unreal. This Album is so ridiculous.

[@championette..]

Fink Sinatra Right?! 💙

[@K.D.Fischer_HEPHY]

I absolutly love the musical progression with the strings in this song. Just heartblowing beautiful. Thank you Mister Beck.

[@MrAcenoface37]

Beck never ceases to impress me. Every album he puts out has something different. Tones, themes, instruments, lyrics... Genius musicianship. Sea Change was and still is a mastery of blending heartache and music. Its dreamy and meloncholly but attentive in its seriousness. Gordon Lightfoot meets Coldplay with a full orchestra.

[@matthewbrundage2582]

I totally agree! The strings in the background, with his vocal harmonies(sp?) theres true feeling ' Nice one

[@rivanool]

Coldplay does not even come close to this masterpiece..

[@sloaiza81]

The last sentence was unnecessary.

[@shellyt556]

I remember when this came out and it was one of the few albums that was so well reviewed and praised. It did come around the Coldplay/Keane era so I am not surprised by the comparison. This is such a great album. Beck is definitely underrated.

[@vladislavgalyba8694]

Michael Cera will one day play the role of Beck in a biopic.

[@gamedemon24]

How could this song have so little views? It's probably the best song on Sea Change! (his best album!)

[@nicosusername7119]

i prefer mello gold

[@stiiffyrabbit]

I disagree. Sea Change is chock full of great tracks. For a good while, I used to skip straight to 'Paper Tiger', 'Nothing I Haven't Seen', and 'Round the Bend'. And, yes, 'Lonesome Tears', and 'All In Your Mind'. This album has everybody's favourite on it - if you've been dumped! Talking of paper tigers - have you heard the original? Serge Gainsbourg's 'L'Hotel Particuliar'.

[@gamedemon24]

stiffyrabbit jr I never knew it was a cover.

[@stiiffyrabbit]

gamedemon24 It's not strictly a cover. You'd have to hear it to hear what I mean.

[@michaelmccormack494]

Cumulatively -- in all its glorious media -- this is as great a piece of work as Antonioni's L'Eclisse... the great theme not being alienation, but what do we DO with and inside of it? Beck's answer to his filmed dilemma... is the music. The Eclipse. If I could give it higher praise I would, but that's as strong as it gets from this world-art lover.

[@lalif8334]

What a trip! Way back in 2003 I was visiting Los Angeles and went to Little Tokyo, if memory serves it was a quiet Sunday morning. As I walked through the plaza I looked over and there was Beck in a white suit stroking a white rabbit. Without thinking I said, 'Beck?' and he looked at me with some annoyance. Then I looked forward and some ways away on an elevated part of the plaza there was Jason Lee with a 16mm camera on a tripod. I went off to one side to be out of their shot but because I was then standing watching what they were doing some other people started to notice and they packed up and got into a BMW 750 with a woman and shot me another annoyed glance. Sorry guys. I never knew until today what they were filming for, just happened upon this video after a chain that started with an SNL sketch (Good Morning Meth) with Jason Lee, then a video about why he dropped off the radar somewhat. Anyway, it appears they didn't use any of the footage from Little Tokyo in the final video but obviously the white suit and white rabbit... this was what they were working on, just the two of them and a woman who was maybe a wife, girlfriend or assistant, not sure. Twenty-plus years later mystery is solved for me.
